If sin A = sqrt(10)/10 with A in QI and tan B = 4/3 with B in QI, find tan(A + B) and cot(A + B).
Note: Ok for this question, I used cos A= sqrt(1-sin A^2) and got sqrt((10-sqrt10)/10). I am confused on how to get rid of the square root. Or can i square both sides? Thank you.
My question is: Why do you need cos A?.
To find tan (A + B) and cot (A + B), you only need: tan A and tan B, since , and
, so y = , while r = 10
To find x, we get: ------> ------> , or , or
Now you have: , or
, so now you have all you need to find what you're looking for.
